Desert Rose (My New Favorite!)
Comments (4)Along with the great advice that bunnygurl offered, keep it in the most warmest and sunniest spot in your home, and it will thrive...preferably a south facing window sill.. Also be aware of pests..In particular thrips and mites..;-) No need for fertilzer all winter if it is kept cool. If kept warm, 1/4 strentgh at waterings.. Goodluck...

Comments (6)I'm keeping an eye on the grandiflora Dream Come True. I potted it up in a 20-gallon container to haul around for pruning demos next winter as I wasn't really sure what to expect from another J&P 'new' rose. So far I like the long-lasting blooms and the way the bloom goes to a neon pink. It even has a scent. Hands down, though, is the found tea called Odee's Pink. That one hasn't been out of bloom since I picked it up in a rose auction in February. Although the color reminds me of Souvenir de la Malmaison, the blooms are smaller and the bush is a flopper. Again, it's potted up but not for traveling. I ran out of space and time for digging until it cools down again....See Moremy favorite new (to me) hosta this year , Hakumuo
Comments (6)Definitely a treasure to be sought out. Did well for last four years but greatly diminished this year because of squirrels and tree roots. A very handsome plant....See MoreThis year's favorite "new to you" varieties. Please Share Yours!
Comments (15)Every year is a new year for me.. right now I'm in the middle of a 6 year rotation of a lot of seeds to try out. Last year was orange tomatoes- Juanne Flamme was the hands down winner among a lot of orange tomatoes. This year is whites and container kinds. It's still a bit up in the air about the number one, but leading in the pick is Snow White cherry. Super hardy plant, prolific, and the first cherry in ages that has captured the whole family's attention for tomato goodness in a little package. All the rest of the tomatoes just sit and wait for me to preserve in various ways. But I can pick a quart a day of Snow Whites and they disappear within hours for fresh eating on. Good thing the two plants I have growing can keep up with the few quarts a week habit we have for snacking on this tasty tomato. Dwarf Wild Fred is in the running too- for all that I tend to grow only heirlooms, this is a newer container black (or rather a zebra stripe of deep red and green with a plum heart), that is worth seed saving for another years growth. Very tasty, grows well with a good habit. Totem is the red of choice for this years containers- compact, grows strong and well, and darn fine and tasty red tomatoes for small slicing, canning, dehydrating, or saucing up. If you only have a tiny space- go for this one. Silvery Fir Tree pretty much sucked in production- that might be because almost every fruit produced got snacked on by critters before I could get to it.. But it was the hands down winner for ultra beautiful foliage to the extent that I would grow this tomato in my flower garden for just it's lovely foliage. One billion percent a must for ornamental gardeners. I have around 16-18 kinds of tomatoes in the garden this year.... if I had to only choose one for seed saving, I would have to choose Snow White....See More

6 months agoThank you to everyone for the responses and beautiful pictures.
I don't have anything to compare, but here are a few of Madame Dore. The back of the petals are a bit darker, and I like the way they stand up. Very healthy. It's still in this small pot, 8 inch or so, which it was in all summer. But it put out flush after flush all through the brutal heat so I think it would be good for hot dry areas as it does not appear to be a water hog or a heavy feeder. It has really won me over, and I don't ever want to be without it now. I will bump it up into a bigger pot so that it has room to fill out a bit more.
